HONG KONG: Bates Advertising outgunned five agency rivals to rein
in the HKdollars 50 million (USdollars 6.4 million) Cheung Kong Holdings
account for two residential properties.
Its management supervisor, Tommy Cheng, said Bates pitched against
Ogilvy & Mather, Leo Burnett, FCB, Grey and M&C Saatchi for the
HKdollars 30 million Caribbean Coast business. The other property
project, The Sky Tower, located near the old Kai Tak airport, is being
jointly developed by Cheung Kong, New World Development and Shanghai
International Holdings.
According to Bates, both campaigns are scheduled for launch later this
year.
Separately, Bates has appointed Susan Lam as group account director.
Lam was previously with Bates' integrated communication agency 141
Malaysia.
